mikaloyd: What lap will this race become official?

Lap 90.

rhiannon: penguin31: So, between his comments in the pre-show, and the content of the Aaron's ads, I think it's clear:

Michael Waltrip *is* Mark Martin's love slave.

Mikey is totally on the bottom.

Old gay redneck BDSM? Now theres a niche market

Shadow Blasko: Jensaarai: Ahahahaha!

Regan Smith blows a motor and suddenly Bill Elliott is back on track right now.

Go Uncle Awesome!

I'm going to assume getting clobbered in that Nationwide race really set back NemCo. Ah well. Bill's last legit looooong shot will be in a Hendrick powered chevy in the July Daytona race.

Shadow Blasko: Feeling a wreck coming on...

Too much discussion of the 55. It's Pavlovian.

mikaloyd		2012-05-06 02:20:54 PM

I may be the only one but I like the rule changes. They got rid of all tandem all the time racing.

radiofreewill		2012-05-06 02:21:20 PM

Damn that AT&T commercial; now I have to dig up some CCR and crank it.

You are SO not the only one.

/Guessing lap 43

GardenWeasel		2012-05-06 02:21:27 PM

Interesting. Mikey is sporting a tribute to Junior Seau's 55.

WhyteRaven74		2012-05-06 02:21:47 PM

mikaloyd: What lap will this race become official?

Lap 95 or when Mikey crashes, whichever comes first.

Anyone watch the race yesterday? Or the ARCA race Friday?

mikaloyd: I may be the only one but I like the rule changes. They got rid of all tandem all the time racing.

I don't like that the implementation has led to what looks like babying the engine for 475 miles, but then, I don't know that I've been happy with any rules package that involved a restrictor plate.

As an aside, it sounds like water replenishment might be in the cards for a yellow flag stop -- think that gives Ambrose an advantage?

Saw the Nationwide race. It was pretty good. Until McClure nailed the wall with about 5 laps to go. It got red flagged for about 15 mins.

MattyFridays		2012-05-06 02:25:09 PM

Could, conceivably, the Big 3 of Hendrick play a 3-car shell game with all of them taking turns pushing?

radiofreewill		2012-05-06 02:25:24 PM

Yeah, screw my math. Forgot it was 188 laps, not 180.

MattyFridays		2012-05-06 02:26:21 PM

Digitalstrange:

Rule 34.

Jensaarai		2012-05-06 02:26:30 PM

Bill is 14 laps down. They should just let him hop into his '85 Thunderbird and see if he can make them back.

mikaloyd		2012-05-06 02:26:41 PM

JJ 3rd

Tkat you know what to do.

Yeah that was scary, and it took out a bunch of cars and a few other cars lost a ton of spots.

When Mikey wrecks, he'll take the whole front group out with him. you have no worries.

MattyFridays		2012-05-06 02:28:21 PM

I'm going to be honest. In NASCAR, would you want more Michael Waltrips or more Danica Patricks?

I saw the wreck on the sports highlights and it looked like McClure didn't have the brakes locked down. Maybe it happened too fast or his feet got knocked off the pedals or something. Scary hard hit.

I'm rootin' for Danica. Yeah. my NASCAR has come to this.

Why? Other than she's a woman, would you root for Danica? She's personality-vacant. The only emotion she shows is rage. And as her stunt proved yesterday, she's dangerous on the track without the skill to back it up.

DanZero		2012-05-06 02:33:16 PM

EXACTLY. Mikey understands that he's the joke. But he's engaging, he's got a good personality, and his twitter is funny.

'Cuz she pisses off the old school fans. And as an old school fan, I like that. There's not much else to enjoy about this anymore. And what she did yesterday was nothing that better drivers than her have done in the past themselves.
